NYS minimum wage to hold steady in 2027
Minimum wage workers in New York will not see an automatic increase in January, with Long Island’s minimum wage remaining at $17 per hour due to a decline in jobs that triggered the law’s inflation-based increases. This marks only the third year since 2013 that Long Island’s wage has remained stagnant, amid rising costs of goods and services. Governor Kathy Hochul proposed modifying the law to raise the minimum wage, citing economic factors such as inflation, tariffs, and federal policy changes, but any legislative change requires approval from the state legislature, which is not in session until January.
